MOOC Model for New Care Coordination Competencies Training

9:30 AM - 10:00 AM

Full Abstract

The team at Monroe Community College received an IITG grant to develop a Heath Care Coordination course MOOC using Coursera. Care coordination is a key strategy that has the potential to improve the effectiveness, safety, and efficiency of the American healthcare system. Well-designed, targeted care coordination helps ensure that the right healthcare is delivered to the right people at the right time to improve outcomes for everyone: patients, providers, and payers. Recently, Dr. Andrea Wade, MCC’s Provost and Academic Vice President, served on the NYSDOH’s SIM/DSRIP Workforce Curriculum workgroup that identified five core care coordination competencies for educating the future workforce. Additionally, Dr. Wade, while at Broome Community College, led the creation of a highly successful model Foundations for Assisting in Home Care Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) supported with prior IITG funding. This experience has proven that MOOCs are a viable medium to deliver training on these new competencies to the healthcare workforce. This project supported the creation of a course that will benefit health care professionals directly and create open content that can be used by any educational institution to augment their healthcare curriculum. We will discuss our team process and share our work.
